Greetings All,

I am asking for help.

I've proposed a session for Agile2015 called "Scaling Agile with Open Space". You can see it below.

If you like this idea of using Open Space inside Agile adoptions, and want to see this idea spread, your positive support for it in the form of a brief online comment /can help tremendously now/...

...the Agile conference gets 1500 participants. These folks go back home and try stuff based on what they hear during the conference.

Adding a comment might take 5 minutes....

.../special thanks/ to those who have commented already! (Suzanne Daigle!! Harold Shinsato!! )


SCALING AGILE WITH OPEN SPACE

Goal:

 * Effectively spread the idea that "rapid and lasting Agile adoptions
   can be achieved with the help of Open Space".

Rules:

 * It is unclear when the ability to comment ends, so time is of the
   essence. ASAP is good!!
 * You can say as little or as much as you like in your comment
 * Here is where to make your comment:
   https://submissions.agilealliance.org/sessions/3445

   Scaling Agile with Open Space

*Presenter: *Daniel Mezick <https://submissions.agilealliance.org/users/318> *Track: *Enterprise Agile <https://submissions.agilealliance.org/tracks/57> *Session Type: *Talk *Audience Level: *Advancing
*Room Setup: *Rounds *Duration: *75 minutes
*Keywords: *openSpace, Enterprise Agile
*Abstract:*

Open Space gatherings arranged inside organizations are totally unlike the Open Space events you may be familiar with during public conferences. As described in the book SPIRIT from Harrison Owen, Open Space is actually designed to enable development and transformations in organizations. This session is about how to leverage Open Space to scale Agile across the enterprise.

At the root of effective Agile is the self-managed team...a self-organizing system. At the core of Open Space is the power of self-organization. In this sense, effective Agile adoptions and Open Space are very, very similar.

During this session I will present narratives, pictures, videos and testimony from C-level people as well as team members. Each will describe how Open Space inside their Agile adoption literally changed their lives. Of particular interest are the stories executives tell about how they learned to let go and trust their people to provide everything the Agile adoption needed to succeed at scale.

         yes to open space

   Open Space Technology is an ideal process for agile transformations,
   and Daniel has been making some great headway in learning how to
   apply it to great effect. Hope this makes it to the program.

         Open Space and Agile

   Dan Mezick is doing some trailblazing work combining Open Space with
   Agile. Open Space encompasses the principles of the Agile Manifesto
   and with its light yet robust structure, it is bringing people
   together in ways that allow people to fully engaged individually and
   collectively in the transition and adoption of Agile across the
   enterprise. It helps jumpstart a deeper and shared understanding of
   Agile that is leading to highly successful implementation outcomes.
   The results to date are compelling.

         Open Space

   Daniel is able to communicate both the science and art associated
   with Open Space which is critically important. The concept of
   bringing everyone together to work collectively to solve a problem
   seems easy enough, but it is the science of the interaction, the
   room set-up, the pre-work, and the "what next" that Daniel
   articulates very well. Should be an awesome session.
